Eagles Stay or Go 2024: How will Haason Reddick situation play out? originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
Reuben Frank and Dave Zangaro bring back Stay or Go in 2024, trying to figure out the futures of every Eagles player on the roster.
We already looked at quarterback, running back, receiver, tight end, interior offensive line, offensive tackle, specialists and defensive tackle.
Up today: Edge
Brandon Graham
Roob: Nobody has ever spent 15 years with the Eagles. Nobody has ever played 200 regular-season games for the Eagles. Brandon Graham needs to be the first. Not because we all love B.G. Not because he deserves to set every franchise longevity record. But because he can still play. Graham didn’t play a ton last year – about 23 snaps per game – but he was very good in a role that perfectly suited a 35-year-old edge rusher. Picked up four sacks, including one in the playoff game, and increased his career total to 73, 4th-most in franchise history behind Reggie White, Trent Cole and Clyde Simmons. All I know is if everybody played as hard last year as B.G. the Eagles wouldn’t have fallen apart.
Verdict: Stays
Dave: This is obviously a tricky one. Graham will be 36 for this upcoming season but he has always said he wants to play 15 years in the NFL and with the Eagles. Even though he’s not an every down player anymore, this really should happen. Graham was a solid contributor in a limited role in 2023. The bigger problem was that he ended up being the third man in the rotation instead of Nolan Smith. But Graham played well in Year 14 and was one of the few guys who showed up in the playoff game. He’s a pending free agent but we know he wants to be here and will probably take a hometown discount to finish his career the way he wants.
Verdict: Stays
Tarron Jackson
Roob: Jackson has been around a few years now but hasn’t really played since 2021, and I feel like the Eagles need better depth at the edge position than what late-round guys like Jackson…
